Download + Print

Download your choice of banner at the end of the post and then decide what letters you need. Print them out one by one, by printing one and then flipping the iron-on around and printing another. Here I’m using my trusty Canon Crafting Printer to print these darling letters onto Cricut Printable Iron-on, so that we can iron the letters onto fabric, yay! I love this printer because it’s actually made to handle thicker materials just like iron-on, a crafter’s dream.

If using typical iron-on material you will have to “mirror” the banner design!

No Waste Banner Files

I hate wasting supplies and iron-on material is expensive so I figured out a way to print these banner letters individually! Simply choose to print one letter at a time, once printed you’ll have an entire half sheet empty. Turn the paper around, re-insert into the printer and then print the next letter you need! See picture above for example.

Trim The Iron-on

Trim around the outside of each letter, doesn’t need to be perfect as we’ll be doing it again.

Peel + Iron

Gently peel the iron on from it’s backing and place on to clean, ironed white cotton material. Cover with two layers of the same material and iron on low for up to 3 minutes. More iron-on instruction can be found on the package.

Do not allow the iron to touch the printed design or it will BURN it to your iron!

Cut Out Each Letter

Now carefully cut out each new fabric banner letter along the design line. You’ll need a good sharp pair of scissors for this because remember, you’re now cutting fabric!

Make The Fold

Fold about 1/2″ of the top of each letter, backwards to make a home for the ribbon. I quickly ironed mine (covered again by the cloth) for a crisp line.

Add Ribbon

Using your choice of 1/4″ ribbon, hot glue it in place inside the fold on the backside of each letter. Mind your spacing!

Trim Excess

If there is excess material hanging off over the fold, just trim it away.

Voila!

Banner Options

You can use these banner designs to of course make these awesome fabric banners… but there are many other ways to use them! You can print them onto paper and make a regular banner or maybe even print them onto shrinky dink material and shrink them down to create personalized key chains, I’m actually thinking about doing that myself!
